In 2021, at the Global Young Leaders Dialogue program, Lao Tan, a dedicated advocate for disability rights, took the stage to highlight China’s achievements in caring for people with disabilities. Having spent years championing the “Krankin’ thru China” initiative, Lao Tan shared inspiring stories and insights into how the nation has been working towards inclusivity and support for all its citizens.
“China has made significant strides in improving accessibility and providing resources for people with disabilities,” Lao Tan emphasized. He pointed out various programs and policies that have been implemented to enhance the quality of life for millions who face daily challenges due to physical limitations.
The “Krankin’ thru China” initiative, spearheaded by Lao Tan, focuses on empowering individuals with disabilities through sports and community engagement. By organizing events and activities, the initiative aims to break down social barriers and promote a more inclusive society.
Lao Tan’s presentation resonated with young leaders from around the world, inspiring a dialogue on how communities can come together to support those in need. He encouraged the audience to consider how similar efforts could be adopted in their own countries, fostering a global movement towards greater compassion and understanding.
The Global Young Leaders Dialogue program provided a platform for voices like Lao Tan’s to be heard, shining a light on important social issues and encouraging collaboration among the next generation of global leaders.
